Tyrolean Folk Art Museum

Also known as Tiroler Volkskunstmuseum

The Tyrolean Folk Art Museum in Innsbruck contains something you won't see anywhere else in the Alps: complete farmhouse parlor rooms (Stuben) dismantled from their original buildings and reinstalled with their carved wood paneling, painted furniture, and tile stoves intact, stretching from Gothic-era interiors to the 19th century.

The Tyrolean Folk Art Museum next to the Court Church in central Innsbruck contains the most complete collection of Alpine rural interiors in the region. The highlight is the series of complete Stuben: farmhouse parlor rooms dismantled from their original buildings and reinstalled here with their carved wood paneling, painted furniture, and tile stoves intact, covering styles from the Gothic period to the 19th century. These are actual rooms, not reproductions. The museum also holds carnival masks, nativity scenes, traditional costumes, and folk religious art. Combine it with the Court Church next door, which takes 30 minutes and covers the Habsburg end of Tyrolean identity. Combined admission is available.
